Product of the month July 2011: Rigid-752 - extremly rugged embedded PC for all cases!

IPC2U presents Rigid 752 – an extremely protected embedded PC.This Rugged PC is well-suitable for all applications, which are exposed to high pressures and at the same time require high reliability. Furthermore, the Rigid 752 shows high performance and is richly equipped. In this way the Rigid 752 meets almost all functional requirements and fulfills almost all customer needs.

CoolingModest generation of heat allows fanless construction oft he PC. Heat can be dissipated by the special design of aluminum chassis effectively making error-prone fans unnecessary.

Chipset and interfacesThe Rigid 752 is equipped with the Intel QM57 chipset, which allows comprehensive security settings. Therefore the computer can be more simply maintained, controlled and protected. Furthermore, it supports numerous interfaces such as 2x SATA, 1x LPT, 8 x USB 2.0, 2x Gbit LAN and 4x COM. Via one of the COM-ports power supply of external devices can be provided with 5V/12V. Connection with external displays can be made via VGA and Display Port. Ford data acquisition in e. g. measuring systems there are 8x DI/ 8x DO available.

Data storageFor short-termed data saving the Rigid 752 can be upgraded with up to 8GB 800/1066MHz DDR3 RAM. For long-termed there are a 2.5“ Drive Bay for HDD and SSD as well as 1x CFAST. Through the use of SSD, for example, the error rate of the system can be minimized, noise can be reduced as well as read and write speeds can be increased.

Wireless communicationIn addition to the interfaces for the wire-based data exchange, the Rigid has extensive opportunities for wireless communication. It supports a GSM / UMTS module and a SIM card.

Expansion InterfaceIf need for additional features arise, additional add-in cards are installed. For that one can use 1x PCI, 1x PCIe and 1x Mini-PCIe slots.

Safety standardsThe range of ambient temperature, the Rigid can be used within, ranges from -40°C to +70°C. Also, the shock resistance is impressive: the PC holds up to 20G and 40G in the off mode when using HDD. With SSD even 40G in operation mode and 60G in off mode are possible.

Last but not least, despite of versatile interfaces of Rigid 752 it has compact dimensions of 195mm x 268mm x 90mm.

To sum up, the Rigid 752 is a very rigid robust solution for a wide range of applications. It can equally be used in vehicles, for process control in industry, for playing back video content in kiosks or for control of terminals providing city information in the tourism sector.
